So as we do have better sensors and more processing capabilities, we\u2019re able to, as you said, understand a little bit more about the world that we\u2019re in and sort of move the level of robotic performance up a notch.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robots have always found it a challenge to work with people and vice versa.
